Negligence

The movers say they've got it all

packed in boxes and ready to go

But on my final walkthrough

I'm shocked to discover

that they've left everything behind

The first kiss on the second step

The water stain on the ceiling

that looks like Mick Jagger's lips

The angel trumpet that we replanted

and brought back to life

It's actually blooming now

Then there's that patch of marble

that I was lying on when I learned

about the importance of a good neighbor

And I don't know how they missed

the scratches on the hardwood floor

from umpteen games of fetch

or the steam hearts on the shower glass

I mean how could they possibly overlook

all the Jason Mraz songs in the kitchen

and the sunset view from the balcony

If you ask me, it's blatant negligence

and somebody is going to hear about it
